I'm finally posting this story! I will update hopefully every week, or maybe sooner. Please tell me if you want me to continue. Okay, here's the story!

Chapter 1: The Message

Finn supported his head with his hand as Mr. Olson enlightened him on the history of Mexico. No offense to Mexico, but you're boring. But the bigger reason Finn was tired was because he was up all night trying to figure out a riddle he had received in an email. He hadn't known why the riddle was sent to him, he didn't even know who had sent it to him. He just knew that it was important to figure out.

"Thunderhead?" Finn muttered to himself. "Like I'm supposed to know what that means."

"Mister Whitman?" Mr. Olson called out.

Finn snapped back to reality. "Huh?"

"Can you tell me which Spanish conquistador conquered the Incas?"

Finn felt all eyes on him. He felt his face burning from embarrassment. This was so humiliating. He looked stupid. Finn avoided all the deadly stares of his classmates. "No, sir."

Mr. Olson shook his head in disappointment and continued with his story about the fall of the Incas. Heads swiveled back to the board at the head of the room. Finn was glad the attention was torn away from him. But he was still angry with himself for not figuring out what 'thunderhead' meant. If it had to deal with weather, it hadn't stormed since April. But Finn thought it had to do with something else.

The bell rang.

"Read pages sixteen through forty-two about Mexican cultures and do not forget about the quiz tomorrow." Mr. Olson said.

The class moaned as the headed for the door. Finn grabbed his books and tried to catch up with Amanda in the hall.

"I fell asleep in Math class." Amanda said. "Thanks for keeping me up last night, Finn."

Finn felt bad for contacting her last night. Mrs. Nash hadn't approved of it, but she reluctantly let them speak with each other. (Finn had said he needed Amanda for a science project). But Finn had really needed help with the riddle he received. But it was clear that it had upset Amanda.

"Sorry about that." Finn apologized. He opened his locker. "It might not be that important anyway."

Finn froze when he took a look in his locker. Amanda stared at him. She waved a hand in front of his face to see if he was okay. He didn't blink.

Amanda opened the locker door even more to find a note on top of Finn's textbooks. Amanda snapped her finger in front of Finn's face. Finn regained his senses and took the note in his hand. He unfolded the note and read it to himself.

Meet me at the Port of Entry at Islands of Adventure at six `o clock. –W

"Who's it from?" Amanda asked from over Finn's shoulder.

"I'm guessing Wayne." Finn answered.

"Why would he want to meet us in Islands of Adventures?" Amanda asked. "That's in Universal Studios!"

Finn shrugged. "Who knows?"

Amanda grabbed a book from her locker. "Do you think I can come?"

"I don't see why not. I mean you are technically kingdom keeper." Finn said.

"Thanks." Amanda said, closing her locker. "I'll see you there."

"Bye." Finn said.

Amanda ran down the hall for her next class. Finn looked back at the note in his hand. Thunderhead? Did the note and the email have any connection?

The bell rang for kids to get back to class. Finn shut his locker and headed for the gym.
